APC governors are ‘tenants’ in govt houses – Baraje

Former National Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Kawu Baraje, has criticized governors who were elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) as "tenants" in government houses. He made this assertion while addressing journalists at Dutse International Airport en route to Azare, Bauchi State. Baraje argued that the APC's recent electoral successes are a result of internal divisions within the opposition party.

Although the PDP accepted the results of the 2015 and 2023 elections for the sake of national peace, Baraje believes that Nigerians are now demanding the return of the opposition party and are rejecting the current government. He expressed confidence that the PDP's renewed unity and reconciliation efforts would bolster its prospects ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Additionally, Baraje predicted that the PDP would regain control of states like Bauchi, Jigawa, and others presently governed by the APC. His comments come as political parties across the country engage in realignments and activities ahead of the 2027 elections.
